August 2025 Triangle Real Estate Market Update: What Buyers, Sellers & Investors Need to Know

Hi, it’s Ginger with Ginger & Co., and I’m excited to share the August 2025 Triangle Real Estate Market Update with you! Whether you’re buying, selling, or investing, these insights will help you understand where the market stands right now.

Homes Are Still Moving—But More Slowly

• Average Days on Market: 56

• Half of Inventory Under Contract: Demand remains steady, but buyers have more breathing room compared to last year.

Home Prices & Seller Activity

• Median Sales Price: $461,000

• Seller Success: Homes are still closing at 98% of list price, which means sellers are receiving strong offers.

• Inventory Levels: With 3.5 months of inventory available, buyers have a bit more room for negotiation while still competing for desirable homes.

Rental Market Trends

The rental market is showing interesting shifts:

• Average Rent Range: $1,800–$2,000/month

• Income Needed to Qualify: Around $75,000 annually for this rental range.

• Year-Over-Year Growth: Only an $8 increase compared to last year, signaling stability rather than steep spikes.

For landlords, this means if you’ve got a reliable tenant, it may be best to keep them in place rather than pushing for higher rents.

What This Means for Buyers & Sellers

• Buyers: Now is still a great time to purchase, as inventory levels give you more choices and room to negotiate.

• Sellers: Strong offers are still out there—pricing competitively and presenting your home well will help you maximize results.

• Investors: Real estate continues to be a solid hedge against market uncertainty, making now an opportune time to invest.

Final Thoughts

The Triangle real estate market remains healthy, balanced, and full of opportunity. Whether you’re looking to buy, sell, rent, or invest, understanding these trends can help you make the best decision.
